The statement 'interactions of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acids help to anchor the protein in the membrane' explains why protein folding is critical. This process is fundamental for the function of transmembrane proteins.

Protein folding refers to the process by which a polypeptide (i.e., a protein) adopts its final tridimensional 3D shape (conformation).

In a protein, some amino acids contain hydrophilic R groups, whereas other amino acids contain hydrophobic R groups.

During protein folding, hydrophobic amino acids are arranged so they can interact with the long chains of the fatty acids in the internal region of the lipid bilayer, whereas hydrophilic amino acids are arranged so they interact with water on the surface of the cell membrane.

Answer:

1. C

2. B

Explanation:

1. When a plant cell looses some water due to dehydration or being placed in a hypertonic solution, the term used to describe the cell's intial, not severe shrinkage is 'flaccid'.

Here, it's clear that the cell shrank so much that the cell membrane pulled away from the cell wall. The correct term for this severe shrinkage is 'plasmolysed'.

We don't use 'wilted' as a term to describe a cell. We use it to describe the plant as a whole.

2. This is the function of each. Water and ions in xylem and sugars like sucrose in phloem.
